[ad_1] The court cautioned that it “should not be assumed” the Green League’s complaint was going to fail. Campaigners are concerned that wiping out that much forest could have a significant impact on drinking water and wildlife. We’ve asked Tesla for comment. This might only be a temporary setback, but it comes after hundreds-strong protests […]

Tesla Model S range edges closer to 400 miles
[ad_1] Real-life results are bound to vary based on the temperature, your use of climate control and your driving habits. However, Musk added that the new figures might be conservative. He claimed that Model S and X cars made in “recent months” can perform better than their official EPA numbers suggest, and that this potential […]
Delta hopes to be the first carbon neutral airline
[ad_1] The company is promising to be both transparent about its progress and “nimble” in adapting to the latest technology. It teased a “number of milestones” coming in 2020. It’s an ambitious plan (BP isn’t expecting neutrality until 2050), and it’s notable that Delta isn’t trying to ‘cheat’ by using carbon offsets. This is still […]
Last month was the hottest January on record
[ad_1] This shouldn’t be too surprising, given that 2019 was Earth’s second-warmest year on record, last June was the hottest on record and researchers just recorded record-high temps in Antarctica. According to NOAA, the 10 warmest Januaries have all occurred since 2002. What makes this year especially unique is that there was no El Niño […]
Hyundai will make cheap EVs based on Canoo’s subscription pods
[ad_1] The partnership focuses on Canoo’s (relatively) unique skateboard design, which utilizes a pared-back approach to EV building. Each component serves multiple purposes, meaning the platform is smaller and lighter than traditional EV platforms, which means lower prices. The skateboard base is a self-contained unit that can be paired with any cabin design, although the […]
Oil giant BP plans to be carbon neutral by 2050
[ad_1] As part of the plan, BP said it would reorganize into a more “focused” structure that includes four groups (such as Gas & Low Carbon Energy and Innovation & Engineering) and integrators that promote sustainability and emissions reductions. Company chief Bernard Looney (who only took the job earlier in February) wasn’t shy about the […]
The LAFD will operate the first electric fire truck in North America next year
[ad_1] The vehicle is based on Rosenbauer’s Concept Fire Truck (CFT), which has two batteries with a charge capacity of 100 kilowatt hours. This is the equivalent of around two hours’ operation, although it’ll come with an on-board diesel generator if it’s needed for longer. The LAFD hasn’t confirmed how much the vehicle costs, but […]
Bill Gates is the first to buy a hydrogen-powered ‘superyacht’
[ad_1] Sinot even uses gel-based fire bowls to keep passengers warm outside instead of burning coal or wood. It won’t be a fast mover with a 17-knot top speed (19.6MPH), but its 3,750-mile range should be enough for cross-ocean travel. The vessel isn’t completely eco-friendly, though. As dockside hydrogen filling stations are more than a […]
Amazon is the latest to pull out of MWC over coronavirus worries
[ad_1] LG, NVIDIA and Ericsson had already pulled out of the how in recent days. Samsung is also believed to have scaled back its presence, although it should still have a footprint at the show. Huawei and ZTE are still attending despite the outbreak having its roots in China, although they’ve told Chinese staff to […]
Rain may soon be an effective source of renewable energy
[ad_1] The new design mates an aluminum electrode with an indium tin oxide electrode layered with PTFE, a material with a “quasi-permanent” electric charge. When a drop hits the PTFE/tin surface, it bridges the two electrodes and creates a closed-loop circuit. That helps fully release any stored charges. The technology could handle sustained rainfall, too. […]
